Chapter 2018 2026 [Law-abiding Men in Black]
Curacao heard these words with sharp ears and glanced at Jiang Xia secretly: "..." This guy is pretending too well. It is obvious that he created the stage for murder, but now he is pretending to be innocent here. It is really an all-round performance without any blind spots or flaws.
in addition……
She took out her cell phone and secretly searched for related news, and then found that perhaps the aesthetic way of death such as "death of mermaid" was relatively rare, and Michiko Osawa finally achieved the stage sensation effect that she loved during her lifetime - the related news spread very quickly, including photos of fish tanks and some animated pictures.
This made Curacao break out in a cold sweat: Fortunately, she dodged quickly enough and Bourbon was not a bad teammate, and the two of them managed to escape into the corridor before being forced into the camera. Otherwise, even if she had a disguise on her face, she would still be in trouble.
…
Beside him, Inspector Megure didn't have so many thoughts in his mind. Hearing Jiang Xia's words, he looked embarrassed and said, "It is true that we first investigated it as an accident, but..."
But I met you, didn’t I?
——According to Inspector Megure's experience, like many other detective brothers, there are not many purely accidental deaths around Jiang Xia.
So when he instinctively looked at the crowd just now, when he looked up and saw Jiang Xia standing there, Inspector Megure's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Then he quietly asked his subordinates to change the direction of the investigation - to investigate the murder case as well.
Under normal circumstances, Inspector Megure would have taken a gamble on suicide or an accident.
But today's performance has a greater impact and cannot be delayed, so once he had doubts, he immediately started to do both.
Seeing that he hadn't said the words after "but", Jiang Xia considerately didn't ask any more questions, but quickly got into the mood: "Since you have doubts, I will try my best to check this side - how much information have you collected? Bring it to me and have a look."
Xun Zhengwan who was eavesdropping: "?"
...Who is the police chief?
…
"The deceased was Michiko Osawa, 25 years old, a mermaid performer at this aquarium." Sato Miwako was already a skilled worker, and she came over with the news not long after. "The cause of death was drowning. We checked the video footage of the discovery of the body, and she had no vital signs when she emerged from the shell - so she must have drowned inside the shell."
The corpse that was fished out with great effort was placed aside. The mermaid actor who had caused a sensation in the whole room as expected was now lying on the ground, with a piece of makeup missing from his face, looking very embarrassed.
In addition, there was a plaster on the left knee of the corpse.
Inspector Megure stared at this symbol of pain, and his originally resolute heart couldn't help but waver a little: "Could it be an accident caused by leg pain?"
"It shouldn't be!" The person in charge rushed out from somewhere, followed by Yasuyuki Murakawa who was repairing the machine, and another mermaid actor.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead. "After the actors entered the standby cabin at the bottom of the shell, the cabin began to fill with water, but it would stop automatically when it was 80% full. This height is enough for the actors to expose their heads to breathe. There was nothing abnormal with the equipment today, and there are records to prove it!"
Inspector Megure pointed to the plaster he had just seen and said, "That's why I just said that the tragedy might have been caused by leg pain. If the leg pain suddenly occurred and it hurt so much that he couldn't stand steadily, then of course the deceased wouldn't be able to breathe the air at the top."
"Plaster?" Another mermaid actor glanced at the dead woman's leg and remembered something. "This is an old problem of Daze. She almost drowned once because of a leg injury. This is a personal problem. You can't blame the equipment."
The person in charge nodded and pointed out the shadow. He noticed that Jiang Xia's position among the police was a little peculiar. He quickly looked at the detective and used honorifics: "We have a rule that actors must stop performing if they are sick. You have seen Miss Ozawa's status here before. No one can force her to perform, and we didn't even know she had a sore leg today."
I used all my strength to imply that it was not the venue's primary responsibility!
The honest man who was inspecting the equipment also said: "Although Daze doesn't pay much attention to the rules, she is very dedicated. If it was just an ordinary leg pain, she might hide it and go on stage. The previous accident that almost happened was also due to this reason."
When Hashimoto Maya heard this, she couldn't help but look at the corpse on the ground: Is this the end of the King of Volume? It's really sad.
...He should really show this to his colleagues who are the best at rolling the dice, to see if they dare to roll the dice recklessly in the future.
Inspector Megure looked at Jiang Xia, then at them, and the balance in his heart gradually swayed between "accident" and "murder".
Jiang Xia seemed to be fine with either one: "In that case, let's check the equipment first."
…
The group arrived at the backstage. The police technician checked the standby cabin for a long time and muttered, "Everything is indeed normal. There is an emergency button below. Even if you fall down because of leg pain like the inspector said, you can press the drainage button here - but sometimes drowning is a matter of a moment, and it is normal to not be able to find the button in the water. Alas, he died at such a young age, what a pity."
Jiang Xia stuck his head out to take a look and found a small white spot on the floor of the standby cabin, which was different in color from the surrounding area.
Officer Sato noticed his gaze and looked in the direction he was looking, a little confused: "What is this?"
She looked at it closely for a while, and answered herself: "It looks like foundation."
"It's actually quite difficult to hit the bottom of the cabin in the water and leave the foundation on your face in this position." Jiang Xia seemed to understand something, "Let's investigate in the direction of murder."
…
Soon, Inspector Megure called everyone to a spacious dressing room. He showed the dignity of a police officer and stared at the staff present: "Tell me, where were you and what were you doing before and after the incident? Can anyone prove it?"
Hashimoto Maya was in a trance when she heard this familiar question and blurted out, "I am in the audience. On my right is Mr. Tatsumaru, and on my left is a tourist I don't know."
Mumu Police Department: "?"
Who asked you.
Curacao silently pushed his glasses up, lowering his presence even more: "..." How pitiful! How many times has this guy been a suspect since he got involved with Uzo? He even developed a conditioned reflex.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Hashimoto Maya looking at her with a sympathetic and relieved expression, as if she had arbitrarily treated her as some pitiful control group.
Curacao's eyes twitched. He couldn't stand this idiot anymore. "I was in the audience before the incident. I was still in the exhibition hall until the body floated up from the shell. I never went backstage."
Mumu Police Department: "??"
No matter how you explain it, the police didn't suspect you, the audience, at all.
